Before now, such a problem had never been reported on the one hand due to the reliability of Apple devices and those that mount Android and on the other because SMS are a well-tested mechanism by now.

Apparently, however, following so many reports that appeared on Redditthe SMS communication between iPhone and Android is becoming increasingly problematic. Let’s find out together the details of this bug that has left many users perplexed.

iPhone, a bug does not receive SMS from Android: here’s what’s happening

The reports that have spread more and more like wildfire have highlighted the inability to send, from Android, text messages for iPhone users. Such bugs would emerge following the decoding of the number of the sender by the operating system of the Cupertino company.

The error would arise due to the fact that al number would be added incorrectly, a symbol. In fact, when an SMS is received, the system adds the “+” symbol in front of the number and this would be creating quite a few problems.

This problem mainly affects users who have decided to trust to the American operator AT&T. Until now, however, there have been no official communications regarding the fact of possible changes to the methods of transmitting the number belonging to Android devices. Furthermore, theaddition of the + sign implemented by iOS would alter the number which would be unknown.

The deformation of the number, therefore, inevitably leads the communication to not be received and this problem, at the moment, does not seem to be able to be overcome. Until now, there has been no official communication and recovery times are not known what is certain is that this issue does not appear to be related to the current most recent version of Apple’s system.

In short, many users these days may not be able to communicate via SMS. An alternative, well known, may be Whatsapp of which, these days, it is a trick emerged right on the messages which has changed, in a certain sense, the user experience of many users.
